Getting rid of everything good I ever had.
The Alfasud ti, the BMW E3 3.0Si, The Vauxhall Royale Coupe, The MK1 Golf GTi, The GTM Rossa.
The first Sylva, the second Sylva, both Robin Hoods. (Yes, honestly.)
The Ginetta.
Selling the MK3 Golf GTI to Mango.
Grrrr........
I regret getting rid of all of these.
However.
At the time there would have been reasons for doing so.
If there were reasons, then it was the right thing to do so why regret having done so ?
Onwards and upwards.

Going splits on cars with mates - never a good idea!
- We had a 205 GTI track car (road legal - just) - I handed it over to one of my mates in great condition after driving it for 4 months - it needed
one gear linkage replaced. I gave him the part, and instructions on how to do it (10 minute job). He didn't do it, and wrecked the gearbox
trying to find gears over the following weeks. The car sold on ebay for £112 - less than 10% of what it owed us! 
Other regret - selling my Impreza as it was costing too much in fuel to commute - replaced it with a 1.8 Vauxhall Vectra estate. The Vauxhall was
TERRIBLE, costing more in fuel and parts than the Scoob ever did. Never again will I own another Vauxhall!

I forgot to add the two 924s to my list.
Not 2.5 924S, just the basic 2.0 8 valve 130bhp cars.
Hugely underrated.

And, when I lost my best mate in a stupid, pointless low speed spill, his old man offered me his 350lc for £500 - I just couldn't bear the
thought of having it.

Midde-age and the premature death of my entire family and younger relatives has taught me an important thing -
I've never regretted what I've done, just things I haven't.
Motoring wise, I could have done without the experience of crashing my RD250LC at age 17 and 10 days, very, very high and insane speeds. Not just the
6 months in hospital at the time, but the injuries are catching up big time now....

Selling my Grinnall converted TR7 V8
Selling my Volvo 850 T5 estate when 10 years old and done 130k as I thought it would start to cost me money. What an engine.
Selling my first car a Morris Minor Traveller to by an MG Midget. Minor always got me home even if I had to start on the cranking handle - now there

Buying a Rover 827 beacause it was cheap when my MkIII White Escort was stolen - they all were!
Not buyi.ng a Metro 6R4 when offered a new one for £12k inc spares package when BL had a car park full of them.
